Hufnagel Excavating

Happy Earth Day from us at Hufnagel Excavating. We believe water is our most important resource and know that the health of our forests dictate the availability of drinkable water. In partnership with the American Forest Organization, we have commissioned 250 trees to be planted among vulnerable watersheds. With more than 50 percent of U.S. drinking water originating in forests, it is critical to safeguard these resources as increasing human populations require greater amou...nts of water. Conversely, development driven by human population growth speeds the clearing of forests that purify our water sources. What’s at stake goes beyond drinking water. More than 300 freshwater species are listed or proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Fish and shellfish for human consumption are at the top of an aquatic food chain that relies on clear, oxygenated water that is free of pollution. The purity of the water affects more than the health of the forest itself and its inhabitants. Every 10 percent increase in forest cover in the watershed’s source leads to a 20 percent decrease in costs of water treatment downstream. It all adds up to making watershed protection a very worthwhile investment.

One thing that has always been a point of pride is the sense of community and family our team has. When our world was turned upside down with current events, I was floored by the ideas shared when What can we do now? was asked. The ease of acquiring volunteers to help others was humbling. Find the silver linings. If anyone needs help or has a disability preventing them from access to basic goods and services, send us a PM. We have a lot of good people looking to help, let...’s make this time worth something. #dobetter
